What AWS Client VPN is
AWS Client VPN is a paid VPN access service for organizations needing advanced administrative control over client connections. Supported platforms include Windows 11, macOS, Ubuntu Linux, a web console, and AWS CLI/API; the broader listing also names Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. The service provides SSO/SCIM, device posture checks, audit logs, and VPN-based access. Site-to-site networking is not supported. Endpoint association costs $0.10 a month, billed hourly, with an hourly charge for each endpoint association. Client VPN connections cost $0.50 a month, also billed hourly; the listed example covers 10 connections in US East (Ohio). There is no free plan. These are separate charges, so the applicable total depends on endpoint associations and client connections. The product is presented through AWS’s Client VPN website and includes a web console alongside command-line and API access. Organizations comparing this service should account for both listed billing components and the absence of site-to-site networking.
